Operating instructions 10/2017
DANGER
Danger to life through switchedon installation
Risk of being caught or drawn in by rotating and/or movable parts.
To carry out work on the coupling, the system must always be stopped. The drive unit must be secured
against being switched on accidentally (e.g. by locking the key switch or removing the fuses from the
power supply).
A notice should be attached to the ON switch stating clearly that work on the coupling is in progress.
The relevant accident prevention regulations at the place of installation apply as well.
At the same time the complete installation must be without load, so that no danger occurs during
demounting operations.
WARNING
Serious injury
Risk of serious injury through contact with rotating components.
The coupling must be fitted with suitable safeguards to prevent any contact. The operation of the
coupling must not be impaired by the safeguard. This also applies to test runs and when checking the
direction of rotation.
This coupling must also be protected against spurting, hot operating fluid without substantially impairing
the coupling ventilation. The fusible safety plug, the filler plug and the drain plug should remain
accessible.
WARNING
Risk of serious injury through flying fragments
Coupling may burst.
The operating fluid to be used is specified in item 7.2.1.
The filling quantity is defined by the works in relation to the order, if the drive details are available.
Otherwise the filling quantity is selected from the table in the operating instructions.
FLUDEX couplings must not be filled up to more than 80 to 85 % of the total volume.
Higher filling quantites cause a sharp rise in pressure in the coupling, which may cause the coupling to
burst.
For this reason only the filling openings prescribed must be used for filling.
The instructions for use issued by the manufacturer of the operating fluid must be observed.
WARNING
Risk of serious injury through flying fragments
Risk of serious injury through flying fragments and/or risk of damage to the coupling.
If any malfunctions or changes are noticed during operation, the drive assembly must be switched off
at once.
Note
If the coupling is fitted in plant or equipment, the manufacturer of such plant or equipment must ensure
that the contents of the present instructions are incorporated in his own instructions.
